A store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models. The sets are described by the diagram below. Each circled letter

represents a box of 6 model atoms of one element. For example, the circled letter "P" represents a box with 6 model phosphorous atoms.
Set 1 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 18 hydrogen atoms. Set 2 has 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms. Set 3 has 6 carbon, 12 oxygen, 12 hydrogen, 6 nitrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms. Set 4 has 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, 6 hydrogen, and 6 phosphorous atoms.

Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule, ideally containing as many monomers as possible. Which set should she choose?

A. Set 1
B. Set 2
C. Set 3
D. Set 4

Answer:

B. Set 2

Explanation:

Carbohydrate is one of the four biological molecules in living systems (others are proteins, lipids and nucleic acid). The carbohydrate molecule consists of a long chain of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements in a ratio 1:2:1. Hence, the simplest unit of a carbohydrate has an empirical formula of (CH2O)n where n is the number of chains.

According to the question, a store sells a variety of sets for building molecular models and Kendra wishes to build a model of a carbohydrate molecule. Since carbohydrate monomers have a CH2O formula, Kendra needs a set in which the ratio of carbon: hydrogen: oxygen is 1:2:1. SET 2 fits this description by containing 12 carbon, 12 oxygen, and 24 hydrogen atoms

That is, carbon (12/12) : hydrogen (24/12) : oxygen (12/12), which is 1:2:1. Therefore, SET 2 is the best choice for Kendra in order to build her model of carbohydrate molecule containing as many monomers as possible.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer: A

Explanation: Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

How does the concentration of salt in water affect the rate of osmosis?
Nata [24]
The concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences.
Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.

Which of the following lists, in correct order, the phases of interphase? View Available Hint(s) G1, A) prophase, and S Prophase
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

G1 - S - G2 (may be is option D)

Explanation:

The interface begins with phase G1 where the cell increases its volume and the mass is doubled.

Then, we continue with the S phase where DNA and histones are synthesized.

Afterwardsy we reach the G2 phase where the chromosomes are duplicated.

Finally we reach, the begining of mitosis.
